SGC is the only grader I’ve ever personally submitted with, going back to 2006. They are my grader of choice - and I will be sad to see them go.
That said, with the larger hobby sentiment right now and what a verified joke PSA / Collectors has been for at least the last 5 years if not longer with vintage cards - I’m finding myself hard pressed to really get outraged over what is happening to SGC. Grading at the end of the day is just an opinion (often a laughable one, even by “professional” standards these days) - and a slab is just a holder.
I will continue to reserve my hobby passion for the cards themselves and the nostalgia they evoke and pleasure they provide. Maybe it’s just that I’m finally getting older but I really don’t care anymore.
